Cowboy Chili {tasty thursday}

Seriously delicious Chili here y'all! We were watching Rachel Ray's new show - 5 meals, 1 day - and the hubs looked at this & said it looked great, so we had it for Sunday dinner. The. Best. Rachel. Ray. recipe. ever. period. Here's the recipe on Food Network.

What to do:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the bacon, cook until browned, and remove with slotted spoon.
Add the beef, brown well, and then add the potatoes, onions, chilis, carrot, garlic, chili powder, and bay leaf. Season the mixture liberally with salt and pepper, and cook 10 minutes more, stirring frequently.
Add the beer and stir about 2 minutes, or until the beer almost cooks out completely.
Stir in the stock, thick Worcestershire sauce, baked beans, bacon, and tomatoes, and thicken to desired consistency, about 20 to 45 minutes over a steady simmer for loose to super-thick chili.
Serve with cornbread and enjoy!

Oh. My. Word. Thanks for this recipe!! My hubby is gonna love it!!! We are Texans who know live in Phoenix Az (insert sad face here) and LADY there is NO GOOD FOOD out here!! SO thanks again. OH and thanks for the follow! I'm returning the favor! :)

This LOOKS amazing! I am trying to watch carbs, but I could try taking out the potatoes in my bowl. :) Anything with bacon is always delicious . . . Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog . . . and thanks for the new recipe!
